Style footnotes without footmisc (hyperref conflict)

Question

I've been given a template & sty doc with this code which gives a nicer footnote layout than the default:

\usepackage[hang, flushmargin,splitrule,multiple]{footmisc}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@makefntext}{
    \ifFN@hangfoot
    \bgroup
    }{
    \ifFN@hangfoot
    \bgroup\def\@makefnmark{
        \rlap{\normalfont\@thefnmark.}
    }
}{}{}
\patchcmd{\@makefntext}{
    \ifdim\footnotemargin>\z@
    \hb@xt@ \footnotemargin{\hss\@makefnmark}
    }{
    \ifdim\footnotemargin>\z@
    \hb@xt@ \footnotemargin{\@makefnmark\hss}
}{}{}
\makeatother
\setlength{\footnotemargin}{1.25em} % Between marker and text
\setlength{\skip\footins}{1\baselineskip} % Between main text and note rule
\setlength{\footnotesep}{\skip\footins} % Between footnotes [= previous]
\renewcommand{\hangfootparskip}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\hangfootparindent}{1em}

But, using footmisc breaks† hyperref's support for inline footnote markers.

MWE - uncomment the comment environment to see the desired footnote layout style, comment it to see the default with working links to footnotes:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{verbatim} % to allow commenting code section

% hyperref options as per my uni's thesis class
\usepackage[pdfpagemode={UseOutlines},bookmarks=true,bookmarksopen=true,
bookmarksopenlevel=0,bookmarksnumbered=true,hypertexnames=true, plainpages=false,
colorlinks,linkcolor={blue},citecolor={green},urlcolor={red},
pdfstartview={FitV},unicode,breaklinks=true,pdfpagelabels]{hyperref}

Is there a way to achieve the better footnote layout, without using footmisc or adding anything else that breaks hypertextual functions?

Indeed is there a way to give the footnotes a link back to their inline anchor.

So looking forward to the day we stop using legacy (paper) formats for digital native documents. Especially ironic when writing about hypertext. Until then, LaTeX it is.

† FWIW, etoolbox seems to be used elsewhere (class code I didn't write!) but doesn't break hyperref's hypertext.

Answer 1

give hyperref a chance: load it later so that it can inject its code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{verbatim} % to allow commenting code section

%\begin{comment}
\usepackage[hang, flushmargin,splitrule,multiple]{footmisc}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\patchcmd{\@makefntext}{

}{
    \ifFN@hangfoot
    \bgroup\def\@makefnmark{
        \rlap{\normalfont\@thefnmark.}
    }
}{}{}
\patchcmd{\@makefntext}{
    \ifdim\footnotemargin>\z@
    \hb@xt@ \footnotemargin{\hss\@makefnmark}
}{
    \ifdim\footnotemargin>\z@
    \hb@xt@ \footnotemargin{\@makefnmark\hss}
}{}{}
